Learning Objectives: By the end of this module the learner will be able to:

• Identify the anatomical structures of the male pelvis
• Explain the anatomy of the pelvic floor to a patient
• Discuss the Neurovascular supply to the pelvis
• Compare the anatomy of the prostate, scrotum and penis
• Describe the biomechanics of the Male Pelvic Floor

Take home message:

Understanding the anatomy is essential to understanding dysfunction and the clinical reasoning process. Explaining the pelvic anatomy to a patient is essential as the pelvis is largely an unknow area, and patients need to understand how the anatomy related to their pain and dysfunction.

One of the keystone hands off techniques to approach male pelvic pain is to be able to effectively and accurately explain the patient’s pelvic pain to them. The use of analogies is an important tool to explain pain in the pelvis, an already neglected are of the human body.

Many different male pelvic conditions may present with similar symptoms. It is important to understand the full scope of male pelvic conditions and to use clinical reasoning to come to a accurate understanding of the sources of pain and dysfunction in the male pelvis.

A treatment approach for pelvic pain and dysfunction may consist of a musculoskeletal approach, and Pain Neuroscience education approach or an educational lifestyle intervention approach. Each treatment strategy needs to be tailor made for each patient based on their assessment finding, and of course their expectations.
